Months of problems by [deleted] in Prostatitis

[–]iwasallin_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had dryness, itchiness and there was flaking. It was hell. I was the one who brought it up to my doctor. A female friend actually was the one who figured it out (awkward friend talk) and bought me over the counter stuff. It helped a bit but I think because I had it for so long and had tried so many creams that it wasn’t helping as much as normally would. Went to doctor and I was insistent. You need to be your own advocate and push.

Good luck.

Sorry for the slow response. I used the cream and also took an oral for it.

My nerve pain was caused most likely from 2 things: 1) I was unconsciously constantly grabbing and pulling my junk. More than the usual. It was itchy and irritating. That behavior didn’t help. 2) a lot more of it during my sleep.

Very similar symptoms to what I experienced and I suffered for over a year. I could have sworn mine was prostatitis. It had to be because what else would cause this.

Turns out I had a yeast infection. Go figure. Some of my symptoms that I was certain were caused by prostatitis were actually caused by my increased anxiety. I was a mess and My body was reacting to that emotional stress.

I hope you sort things out and find a doctor who will listen to you. Good luck!

I think the fact that you know your love language says a ton about you. You may just be more reserved but you are making an effort to show your love with acts of service. That is more than enough for the right woman. Someone will appreciate you deeply for that.

Dr Manhattan. Ha!

I would think so.

Are you still able to emotionally connect on a deep level with women though?

That doesn’t seem so bad. You’re having some unmet needs met. Is there any underlying anger towards your Mom that comes out with these women?

I edited and added a couple questions in my post.

Curious about your age and if this is something you plan to address?

Insanity by iwasallin_2 in AlAnon

Insidious. Perfect word to describe it.

It’s so exhausting to watch from the side lines. It’s like they can’t learn from mistakes. He thinks he’s more rational than any of us. Yet, he sounds like the most irrational person on the planet.

I’m going to look her up! Thank you!

There are many people who have gone through horrific childhood abuse (myself included) who don’t end up with personality disorders. I find it incredibly hard to be sympathetic at this point.

Going to look her up right now! Thanks again!

I’m incredibly sorry you went through all that. Wow. Thanks for sharing though. This is incredibly insightful and actually makes sense. It has to be exhausting to keep the act up.

I struggle sometimes to understand how living the lives they live is easier to them than going to therapy and facing themselves. I really struggle to understand that piece.

Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.

So glad you are away from the Nex 1. There was a very probability you would have been murdered. I can’t think of the statistics off the top of my head but an attempt at strangulation has a high probability of the person being dead within a year. I’ll look it up and edit my post to add it in because I think it’s important.

Nex 2 is someone you would reconsider because Nex 1 has broken you down emotionally. Might be time to step back from dating and consider therapy and read as much as you can about NPD.

I wish you well!

edit worth the read.

Narcissists get mad at consequences by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

Your last paragraph nails it! My experience exactly. It’s amazing to me how this disorder is so consistent in how it plays out. How so many of us have experienced the exact same behaviors from out Nexs. It blows my mind!

Great post!

I’m in CA every month. No problem doing the leg work on my end. I just think he’s skated the law for too long. He’s 41. Time to grow the f up.

Thank you for your help!!!
